MRI, fits, brain edema

On 13th August,2009 Norman had MRI of the brain at Sunway medical center. He have been having difficulty with his speech lately but can still manage to carry on a conversation slowly. The scan still shows a tumor about 4cm by 3.5cm with massive edema and lots of necrotic tissue. The Dr was not so worried and send us home with more fits medication.
2 days ago, Norman finds that his speech was not only slow but slurred as well. The symptoms of the disease is progressing- anger, aggression, weakness on one side( he was not able to hold a spoon) and extreme difficulty to say anything! It is all so terrifying. I am trying to keep my hope up but the fears keep creeping in. Again and again my faith have been tested! My wonderful children have been very supportive and we pray constantly for a miracle from God.
At this point, I want to thank all our friends who have upkeep us with your fervent prayers. Knowing you all are there for us have been a great help. Thank you.

Dorothy
